Questions related to Book Reviews
Thank you in advance for your recommendations.
I receive messages saying a work of mine has been cited by another scholar. But it turns out that what has in fact been cited is the work I've reviewed (not my review of it).
This generates spurious citation counts and highly misleading research metrics.
Please, fix this element of your algorithm. It is a time-waster.
Thank you,
David Schoenbrun
What, in your opinion, is a reliable, objective, professional and thus really contributing to the effective development of science reviewing of scientific papers, diploma theses, dissertations containing the results of scientific research, text proposals sent to the editorial office for publication as scientific publications, including scientific articles, scientific monographs, etc.?
The reviewing of scientific articles by scientists specialised in a particular field of knowledge, conducted in the editorial process, is essential for maintaining a high level of scientific publications and for the development of scientific journals. However, there are times when it can be problematic and cumbersome for scientists who work in narrow, specific specialisations, fields, scientific disciplines.
On the one hand, it is widely accepted that the evaluation of a scientific paper during the peer review process should take into account and usually does take into account at least a dozen factors concerning both substantive issues, research, reference to the literature, timeliness of research results, correctness of inference, editorial quality, effects on the development of science, etc. The assessment of a scientific work during peer review should be carried out objectively, independently, fairly, according to a high level of assessment standards. Therefore, editorial activity, proofreading, editorial correction, scientific reviews, etc. should be carried out according to the applicable standards in order to maintain a certain level of scientific quality of published scientific work.
On the other hand, on the discussion forum of this Research Gate portal, many questions arise regarding the issue of objectivity and fairness in reviewing scientific papers. Yes, the processes of reviewing scientific texts proposed for publication is a serious issue. The issue of the level of objectivity and independence of reviewing scientific papers can influence the direction of science in narrow specialisations and scientific disciplines. The significant variation in the standards of reviewing processes, editorial processes, etc. between different editors of journals and other types of scientific publications is an important factor in considering the issue of the level of objectivity and the problems that arise in this regard. In order for the editorial and reviewing process to be fully objective and independent, among other things, institutional affiliation should not influence the editors' decision to publish a scientific paper and the assessment in the review of the text, manuscript by the reviewers. Unfortunately, however, it sometimes happens that institutional affiliation is taken into account in such situations.
An important element of maintaining a certain level of objectivity in the reviewing process of scientific papers is the application of the model of more than one review in the editorial boards of scientific journals and editorial boards of book publications and monographs, i.e. the standard of min. Two reviews written independently by other researchers and scientists operating in a given discipline of knowledge and/or who are recognised experts in a given issue. Consequently, the multi-review model is important as it should contribute to the improvement of scientific texts. The double (two reviews) review process for scientific papers raises the issue of the objectivity of the review process and is an important element of the editorial process. In some editorial boards of scientific journals and editorial boards of book publications and monographs, the model of 3 reviews is also applied, in which the third review plays an auxiliary and sometimes a decisive role in relation to the previous two reviews written, in which significantly different assessments appeared, different points of view on the given issue described in the reviewed scientific work.
In addition, there are other factors that are important for researchers and scientists, such as the length of the review process of submitted text proposals for publication and the period after which they receive a response from the editorial office. Sometimes the review and editorial processes take a long time. This is determined by various factors. During the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, organising conferences in a traditional, desktop format and post-referral publication processes were difficult. An important issue is the communication standards in place in a given scientific publication editorial board. These standards can also vary widely, as some editorial offices write back with an e-mail response regarding the results of an evaluation, a review conducted, an editorial correction or feedback confirming receipt of a text, etc., within a period of several days or so after the text has been sent to the editorial office publishing a particular scientific text. However, there are also editors who write back with a response much later. For scientists and researchers, waiting a long time for a reply can be problematic in a situation where they are continuing their research in a particular field of knowledge, they are receiving new, new research results and the field or scientific discipline in which they are conducting research is developing rapidly.
The issues of the length of the review process, the process of editing a manuscript proposal submitted for publication, the issue of communication between the editorial office and the manuscript author may also be related to the acceptance by authors of journals that are not highly ranked in terms of recognition, reputation, Impact Factor, etc. If journals with a high Impact Factor are difficult to access due to the long review process and high publication costs, some researchers and scientists who want to publish their research results quickly publish in journals without Impact Factor. In addition, some journals without Impact Factor have other positive features, such as the inclusion of published articles in many scientific publication indexing databases and all this under the open access formula without any payment.
In the context of the issue at hand, the editorial requirements set by the editors of scientific journals for the preparation of articles and other texts for publication are also relevant. On the one hand, the standards of reviewing and editorial requirements sometimes vary widely between journals. On the other hand, meeting all editorial requirements in full may limit the issue of innovation in terms of the research conducted and its description and presentation in scientific publications. This is a complex issue that affects many scientific fields, the research conducted and the description of its results in specific types of scientific publications written according to the editorial standards of specific editors and scientific publishers.
Another issue of discussion in the context of the reviewing process of scientific texts is the progressive digitisation of documents. This process should encourage remote communication via e.g. email, and should assist in the editorial process concerning preparatory work prior to the publication of scientific texts. The issue of the progressive digitisation of documents and their increasingly automated digital processing is linked to the use of new ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0, including artificial intelligence, e.g. technology similar to ChatGPT to improve computerised applications and Internet-connected anti-plagiarism platforms used to verify texts during the process of reviewing scientific texts. I wrote about this issue in one of the previously formulated questions on my discussion forum of this Research Gate portal.
Counting on your opinions, on getting to know your personal opinion, on an honest approach to the discussion of scientific issues and not the ready-made answers generated in ChatGPT, I deliberately used the phrase "in your opinion" in the question.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
What, in your opinion, consists in a reliable, objective, professional and thus really contributing to the effective development of science reviewing of scientific works, theses, dissertations containing the results of scientific research, text proposals sent to the editorial office for publication as scientific publications, including scientific articles, scientific monographs, etc.?
In your opinion, what is a reliable, objective, professional review of scientific papers, theses, etc.?
What do you think about this topic?
What is your opinion on this subject?
Please respond,
I invite you all to discuss,
Thank you very much,
Best wishes,

Dear researchers, scientists, friends, participants in the discussion forum of this Research Gate portal
In my opinion, the development of scientific cooperation, establishing contacts on scientific social networks, online discussion forums operating on online science portals, seeking researchers and scientists to conduct team scientific research, write scientific multi-author papers, participate in scientific conferences and symposia, team search for cooperation to exchange views, express one's own opinion on specific scientific topics, inspire each other to seek interesting topics of research papers, etc. not to generate bad emotions, to inspire bad words and actions, to look for what divides us, to provoke emotional quarrels, etc. This is my opinion, according to which I function in various areas of my activity, including my scientific, research activities and in this discussion forum of the Research Gate portal. It worries me, I am sorry to say, that on some discussion threads, within the framework of ongoing discussions, some participants in the discussion act as if they have a completely different opinion on the above issue. Of course, each of us may have a different opinion on various topics, but this is not a reason to insult others, inspire arguments, stir up bad emotions, use ineloquent vocabulary, use inappropriate epithets, accuse someone of doing what he does not do, behave in a way that is not befitting of educated people, provoke unethical behavior, and so on. I, on many occasions on various discussion threads, in discussions on various topics, when I noticed bad emotions, I noticed attempts to escalate bad emotions on the part of some participants in the discussion then, addressing the entire community of researchers and scientists, I asked for substantive discussions, not to generate bad emotions, not to provoke anger, I asked for respect for all participants in the discussion regardless of what cultures they represent, what backgrounds they come from, what scientific backgrounds they represent, and so on. Besides, I always address the entire community of researchers, scientists, participants in the discussion forum and not per persona, not directly to a specific person, because in my opinion, addressing per persona is inappropriate if we do not know each other in real life, have never met outside the Internet, etc. But this is also just my opinion. I am not trying to prove anything with these words, I am not urging anything, I am not suggesting anything, I am just expressing my opinion on a particular issue. If I ever offended anyone with any words, if anyone ever reading what I write felt offended, felt worse, then I apologize. Bad intentions have never been, are not and will not be the goal of my scientific or any other activity. I fully understand that it will never be the case that all people agree with each other on everything. The fact that there are different opinions on certain topics is also a source of interesting discussions and can inspire the development of new solutions, the development of new concepts, also new concepts of scientific research, the formulation of an innovative topic of scientific work. However, I believe that we should focus on what unites us, not what divides us. This is my opinion. There are many problems to be solved in which the development of science and the technological advances taking place can help. There are many global problems of the development of civilization that we as humanity can solve, that perhaps we will solve in the future. By attempting to solve them, we hope to solve at least some of the global problems of the development of civilization. We will certainly increase the likelihood and scale of solving problems if we cooperate and not look for reasons to develop negative emotions and insult each other and disrespect each other. Of course, if any of you, any of the participants in the discussion forum of the Research Gate portal think otherwise then I will also respect the other opinion and it will not be a reason for me to escalate bad emotions. It's just the way I am, that escalating bad emotions is not in my nature, I don't prefer it, I don't like it. I hope I will be respected that this is just the way I am. Once again, I will reiterate for the sake of full clarity, because perhaps my words were ever interpreted differently than I meant them when I wrote them. If anyone ever felt offended by my words then I apologize. It was not my intention to offend anyone. I try to respect every other opinion, I don't look for what divides us, I focus on what can connect us. And what can unite us is scientific cooperation in solving various more or less important problems, including the most important global problems of civilization development, which in the current 21st century are increasing and there are many indications that they may increase in the future, develop, increase their scale. For the sake of completeness, an example of such a global problem of civilization development is the global climate crisis, which we will not solve alone. But we can increase the scale of solving this problem, or at least reduce the level of action of the negative effects of the global climate crisis, when we act together on the basis of cooperation, mutual respect, willingness to look for what unites us and not what divides us. In view of the above, I invite you to scientific cooperation on various issues concerning the global climate crisis, the progressive process of global warming, the development of the negative effects of these processes and attempts to counteract them, the implementation of the goals of sustainable economic development, climate and environmental social responsibility, the green transformation of the economy, etc., as well as on other issues and topics in which we participate in various discussions, conduct scientific work, research and publish the results of our research in scientific publications.

Who is capable of writing a book review and publishing it in the LA Times?
I have a book review on a minor book about American political economy. I have published many book reviews before ,mostly on Eats Asian topics. I am not sure where to find a minor journal on American political economy that publishes book reviews.
thanks
I want to publish a book review pl suggest me a good journal.
Certain of my book reviews are listed as my publications, In the edit section of the publications page, there is no category for "book review". and I don't want to get problems by claiming authorship for something I have not written but only reviewed. Add one or I'll remove those "publications"

I'm looking for a reputable plant-science/crop-science journal that publishes book reviews. We would like to get a book we recently published on parasitic plants reviewed.
I will be using flow cytometry for my PhD thesis, and it would be very useful to have some recommendations on resources such as books, review articles, or online courses where I can learn how to interpret flow cytometry data and how to use the machine.
During writing a review, usually published articles are collected from the popular data source like PubMed, google scholar, Scopus etc.
My questions are
1. how we can confirm that all the articles that are published in a certain period (e.g.,2000 to 2020) are collected and considered in the sorting process(excluding and including criteria)?
2. When the articles are not in open access, then how can we minimize the challenges to understand the data for the metanalysis?
Do academic hiring committees consider book reviews?
I enjoy doing book reviews because I get free books, small publications, and it allows me to stay up to date on recent scholarship in my field. While I do not put all my publishing eggs in the book review basket, I generally always have at least one book review in progress on the backburner.
However, is it worth it for me as a PhD candidate to do book reviews if I want to apply for assistant professor positions? Are book reviews worthless in hiring decisions, even if they are in reputable journals in my fields of interest? One of my book reviews was peer-reviewed, does that make a difference? If I keep reviewing academic books, will it benefit my academic career?
I have heard mixed perspectives from academics. Some encourage students to publish book reviews since it's better than no publications at all and is perhaps a stepping stone to larger publications down the road, and others have said to just focus on publishing a few articles in top-tier journals.
This weekend, I decided to accept an invitation to review a paper by a new journal called Qeios. It is a journal without an editor, but I learnt that it is controlled by AI rather than traditional humans as journal editors/editorial assistants. It also supports Open Science and open review methods.
It appears that Qeios utilises AI to find out the best reviewers from databases across the world. This gets new people to review, and these people are always related to the topic, and are mostly experts! This is an example of AI being harnessed for good!
As an author, I have not published here but as a reviewer, it is my first review feedback that has been posted or reviews in #Qeios journal.
From my initial finding, these Qeios papers are basically preprints, which means that the authors can receive about 10 comments to improve the quality of the submission. That does not mean it will be accepted for final publication.
Although, the paper also gets a DOI, then it gets indexed on google scholar! You can find my first review for the journal online, at https://www.qeios.com/read/CLC992 for the paper's preprint which has DOI: https://doi.org/10.32388/CLC992
Their papers can be searched on Google and some scholars as well as academic experts have already endorsed #Qeios papers. What about you? Will you publish in it? Will you review for the journal?Does it look like it will overtake traditional journals? What are their advantages and disadvantages?
I am looking for a good book/review/paper that covers this topic.
Any suggestion on good software to be used for data reduction would be appreciated.
Dear researchers,
I have benefited from the book titled 'Microplastic pollutants' by Crawford and Quinn (link below) during my studies on the effects of MPs on the soil environment. I have utilized the concepts presented in the book such as the SCS system for MP classification and the size classifications provided.
Ultimately, I suggested the book as a reliable source of information on MPs and recommended the SCS system as a competent tool for MP classification. However, I rarely see researchers cite this book, which I find puzzling given the robustness of the materials included in the publication. Why do you think this is the case?
If you have come across this book, share your thoughts on the work that has been done.
Cheers!
Hello Seniors!
Please guide me, what counts as a publication in a scholarly journal?
e.g. book reviews etc.
I wrote a book review for a journal that no longer publishes book reviews. Any insights for helping me find another publication would be greatly appreciated! It is in the area of consumer behavior or consumer insights, if that helps to know. Thank you!

One of the benefits of writing book reviews has always been the possibility of receiving a free copy of an expensive book. This seems to be no longer the case, as recent experience with Oxford UP and Brill has shown. I don't think that Brill is hurting in the profit margins. What is your recent experience?
Kindly tell me whether any published book review in any journal will be counted as a paper or not?
I know that "The Mathematical Intelligencer", "South African Journal of Mathematics" and "The Journal of Humanistic Mathematics" publish book reviews in mathematics.
What other journals publish book reviews in mathematics?
Hi
Do you know a journal or conference for publishing Book review in computer engineering ?
can you suggest me one?
thanks in advance
Given that several people have a very narrow definition of what (research or) a publication means, and that book reviews, survey articles and a lot more stuff is published apart from original articles, does a "book review" qualify as a bonafide "publication"?
You may go through the lecture and feel free to advise me about the points that are missing here. Thanks a lot indeed.

Hi,
I am a Ph.D. student in bioethics. My main interest is animal ethics.
For my Ph.D. thesis, I will study ecological utopias from a bioethics and animal ethics perspective. My aim is to see, understand and discuss how utopian writers placed animals in their works. I will then discuss my findings in the light of animal ethics literature.
To do that, I concluded that I should be using one of the qualitative research methods since I am not interested in quantitative findings (how many times the word animal is mentioned, how often it was mentioned, etc.)
Now, I am swamped into the theoretical mess of methodological approaches. Although I want to simplify it since I am only interested in animal ethics findings, I just want to approach the qualitative study as an instrument.
I did many readings and the draft conclusion for my methodology is that:
- I will not adopt any qualitative approaches since my research does not fit into any of them (ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory, narrative research, case study ... )
- I will adopt a purposive sampling approach to decide on my sampling.
- I will use document analysis as my data collection method. (Is this the correct term?)
- I will use qualitative content analysis as my data analysis method. (or should I use thematic analysis?, or are these the same?)
Am I right with these selections?
Is there any conceptual/nominal/theoretical mistake?
Are there any subcategories to these approaches that will better fit my research?
If you think that approach wouldn't work, what would be your suggestion for a newbie in QR like me. (Although I am new in that particular area, I still want to carry out scientifically rigid research)
Thanks a lot, everyone,
Any help is much appreciated.

6. Book review
Does a book review have to be made in the same year it is published? Can it be taken later? If so, how late?
The criticize a published book requires mastery of the subject, analysis and thorough evaluation. Revealing the positive and negative parts of the study with their arguments can make us believe that a criticism has been made. Writing down what authors are in a multi-part book and what their titles are is not a book review. This is just an endeavor equivalent to making a list of "index". Also, the other problem is this: While writing reviews for books with multiple authors to exclude some parts without any selection criteria. What do you think about these issues?
Academically, it is a part of brilliant skills, how to acquire that skill?
If someone publish research papers in open accessed journals. Collect and compile papers in sequence on the same theme and publish that in the form of a book. This will come under self plagiarism or not?
If someone has any such experience or opinion, he/she may share their comments.
- I had published books as a part of my research interest related to pharmacy field (Pharmacology). Now, I am interested to submit books to review in academic journals (Book review publish). Can any one answer me how to submit book reviews and what are the free pharmacy journals without any fee that accepts the book reviews for publication.

"Governing Disaster in Urban Environments: Climate Change Preparation and Adaption after Hurricane Sandy" by Jonathan Davies, Urban Studies
Hello Everyone,
I am looking for journals in the areas of social or political theory, sociology or a related discipline, that accept longer book reviews (between 2000 and 3000) words. So far, I have published those in the Journal of Political Power, but I am looking to expand. The book I seek to review will be fresh out in the summer and deal with the theoretical investigation of the phenomenon of social and political power. It does not have to have a high citation score or rank, but it should be a trustworthy and legit academic journal, not a predatory jurinal.
Thank you very much,
Martin.

"Fundamentals of Hydrology" Book Review
By: Maryellen Elizabeth Hart
Geology 110 Summer 2018 Bz 220 Evolution
June 24, 2018 and June 12, 2019
Quick summary: Edited version of my book review of "Fundamentals of Hydrology" By Tim Davie, and my hypothetical assertions that earth's revolution within the galaxy and the galaxy through the universe affects climate and biological evolution creating periodic cycles in climate and evolutionary trends.)
"Fundamentals of Hydrology" is a required textbook for all Hydrology and Climatology majors. Tim Davie's thoughtful, sequential approach in presenting the basic concepts of Hydrology are extraordinarily clear, factually supported and well explained. Excellent diagrams and data.
Tim Davie raises extremely provocative evidence contained in his presentations of Paleoclimatology (historical geological records of earth's climate from the beginning of time). Tim Davie's evidence points to challenging perspectives of atmospheric carbon being affected by earth's force majeure (volcanoes, plate tectonics, meteor impacts, etc.), more than the given human being's careless mismanagement of by-products of civilization.
Tim Davie's presentation of earth's historic temperature variations reveals challenging perspectives of cyclical (regular periodic) variations between earth's ice age and tropical atmospheres, with a subordinate effect of atmospheric carbon influencing the earth's biosphere's temperature. Tim Davie's paleoclimatological evidence reveals that the temperature changes of the earth's surface (Biosphere) is impacted by something greater than carbon emissions. (Yikes, what could that be???) The evidence points to earth's revolution (three hundred plus some million years) through the universe periodically pulls earth away from the sun and causes regular periodic climate change. The other influencing variables: carbon emissions, ozone, various pollutants, regular periodic meteor impact, volcanic activity, plate tectonics are subordinate variables influencing earth's surface temperature (and resulting climate and resulting evolutionary trends.)
Meteor impact not only caused great clouds of dust and ash, but also causes volcanic activity and an increase in the degree of crustal movement (called plate tectonics.) Resulting in the movement of earth's continents and re-positioning the continents toward new climatic zones (ex. equatorial tropical, temperate or polar freeze). Dust clouds created by meteor impact clears within a decade, plate tectonic movement affects the climate of the continent across many millennium (in contrast with the three hundred plus some millions of earth's revolutionary path around the sun). Distance from the sun is the greatest factor influencing planet earth's biosphere and temperature. And the distance from the sun is also influenced by meteor impact (earth is slightly moved (shifted) from its' axis and from its revolution around the universe.) Meteors are in earths' revolutionary path around the universe and earth regularly passes through meteor belts, and those impacts influence the climate (temperature) and biological evolution. Biological evolution may be regularly set back by these periodic revolutions through the universe and the resulting force majeures and patterns of evolution cyclically restarted for both microscopic and macroscopic evolutionary origins as earth travels with its galaxy through the universe.
The greatest influence of climate change is earth's distance from the sun (force majeure) affected by a three hundred plus some million year revolution. (With periodic change in climate flip-flop occurring about every one hundred fifty to two hundred million years (tropical>ice age>tropical>ice age.)) However, human being's stewardship of planet earth requires human beings to monitor and adjust carbon emissions, ozone, atmospheric toxins, etc. appropriately with great care. Tim Davie's research shows the cyclical climate changes evidenced in paleoclimatology and earth's geological record are influenced in subordinate ways by human life's emissions, waste and management.

An editor of a journal wants to publish a book review of a recently published book and makes a relevant professor, who has read and used the book, to do it. The problem is the editor is not an expert in the specific subject matter of the book, therefore, can not make any judgment on the merit of the book review and wonders if the 'book review' should go to another reviewer for a peer review. Another problem is, to the editor, the authors are the only accessible people who are knowledgeable about the subject matter of the book . Do you think it is okay to request the author/s to review the book review ?
I need a book review for Anthony Giddens (1992) The Transformation of Intimacy (Polity). Can anyone help? His book is about sexuality, love, and eroticism in modern societies.
